Aftermath of Henry's Voyages and Exploring as a whole

During the 16^th century, Europe underwent a time of exploration and curiosity for the world. Whilse the reasoning's of this cannot be totally known, it is safe to say that at this time there was a lot of controversy between most European countries. Merchandising was at a high point in society and because of this, different countries were found from merchandising, leading citizens to wonder what else was out there in the world. Causing geographers to question theories and maps. There was also a lot of controversy between religions. Travelers set their sails to find new lands for people to back them up. With the tail of their discoveries to new lands people became curious to what was around them in the world. Henry Hudson underwent most of his voyages in hope of finding passage ways to Russia and to the Orient. The first voyage he went on was to find passage through the north and then across the pole. On his second voyage he journeyed to find a northeast passage through Arctic waters north of Russia. The third voyage took him on search (by the Dutch that hired him) to find the same northeast passageway as before. On his fourth voyage he was seeking a northwest passage which happened to be one of the voyages he had most wanted to undergo since he started his first voyage. All of these deemed unsuccessful of what he was really looking for but he discovered many other things along the way.For Hudson's first two voyages, he was financed by the Muscovy Company which agreed with his point of the expedition. They financed the ship Hopewell for him. After struggles with getting along with his crew on the first two voyages, he was rejected to seek sponsors and crew from England which led to his turning to the Dutch. He was hired and financed by a Dutch company that had heard about his discoveries and offered him another chance. When he returned from this voyage he was believed to have been sponsored mainly by Sir Thomas Symthe who at that current time was the governor and treasurer of the Virginia Company, and also the English East India Company. Hudson's goals for his voyages consisted on finding passageways up north towards Russia and the Arctic. None of his voyages are known to have been fulfilled. Although at the time his discoveries were miniscule now they are very great.Voyages back in the 16^th century were, as expected, a lot more dangerous than modern day explorations. Conditions were primitive, and extremely dangerous. Seasickness, along with difficult navigation, facing the unknown during an age of superstition, and controversy between crew members and their captains caused voyages to sometimes be referred to as a "living nightmare." The technology used for navigation in Hudson's days was a magnetic compass which can be expected to be inaccurate. They were often supplied with a sand hourglass was the only reliable method of keeping time.
